HOW TO BECOME AN EXPERT?
First of all, you should register in the expert database. To create your expert profile, you need to fill in the following sections: personal and contact details, the area(s) and field(s) of competence, CV in a free form and a list of the most important publications (or works of art) within the past five years. Also you need to submit an application to be accepted as a candidate to the Council pool of experts.
If you have completed your expert profile on the expert database and it is valid (as decided by the Council, it complies with the Council-approved minimum requirements laid out in the General Rules on the Appointment and Activities of Experts of the Research Council of Lithuania), you become a potential expert who can be invited to participate in the proposal evaluation or a project review session requiring your particular expertise. You can see your status on your expert profile. However, registration as an expert in the database does not guarantee automatic selection. The Council shall select experts according to their need of expertise. In the selection of experts, a potential conflict of interests shall also be taken into account.

HOW WILL YOU BE NOTIFIED?
